Standard or regulation
ISO 15118
ISO 15118 is the international vehicle-to-grid communication standard series covering EV-to-charger digital communication, Plug & Charge, smart charging and bidirectional charging functions. In the UK it is increasingly relevant to future-ready public, fleet and V2G-capable charging systems.
V
Vehicle-to-Building (V2B)
Vehicle-to-Building allows an EV to supply energy to a building or site load through compatible bidirectional charging equipment. It is normally assessed alongside vehicle compatibility, export permissions, grid connection requirements and the supported communication standards.
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) is an umbrella term for bidirectional EV charging use cases where energy can flow from the vehicle to another load, building, home, grid or wider energy system. It includes V2G, V2H, V2B and V2L depending on the destination of the exported energy.
Vehicle-to-Home (V2H)
Vehicle-to-Home allows an EV to supply energy to a home through compatible bidirectional charging equipment and electrical controls. It is normally assessed alongside vehicle compatibility, export permissions, grid connection requirements and the supported communication standards.
